Description

At current remote syslog messages are sent in the RFC5424 format while setting the TIMESTAMP field to NILVALUE aka -: https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/blob/master/src/DebugConfiguration.cpp#L179 (the last - there).
While this is standards compliant, turns out some syslog implementations assume the timestamp will always be populated. (For example, the Rust crate syslog_loose as used by Vector.)

Ideally all syslog parsers claiming RFC5324 compatibility would accept the syslog messages with nil timestamps and substitute time of receive, but since that's very much not true today, it would help if timestamps were included when available.
